Thank you for your reply. Here are the results of your suggestions:
When I tried the first way:
/usr/bin/wget -q -O "/tmp/rkhunter.upd.cssTY17212"
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports.dat
it just hung there and did nothing, so I terminated it.
When I tried it again without the -q it looked like it was trying, but kept
giving me this error:
2014-04-28 17:19:03 (0.00 B/s) - Read error at byte 0/1055 (Connection reset by
peer). Retrying.
so I terminated that as well (see screen shot attached).
It put a file in /tmp but it is empty:
[root@server tmp]# pwd
/tmp
[root@server tmp]# ls -l rk*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 28 17:18 rkhunter.upd.cssTY17212
[root@server tmp]#
Thx,
Julie

What happens when you run the command from the command line:
/usr/bin/wget -q -O "/tmp/rkhunter.upd.cssTY17212"
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports.dat
This should download the file into /tmp. If it doesn't then run it again but
without the '-q' option.
Secondly, what does the downloaded file contain?
John.
